CUTMAN COURSE LIMERICK
Hosted by the Munster High Performance Team & Declan Fitzgerald
Like many courses that are provided by the Munster High Performance Team. The Cutman Course gives coaches an opportunity to educate themselves on the latest evidence based techniques in fighter safety and care.

Ultimately the Cutman Course does not endorse the use of dangerous drugs i.e. adrenaline (AIBA Technical rule 16.2.3) nor does it break current European medicine laws.

Rather the course educates participants on natural alternatives which are just as effect and more efficient in their use over a 50 second time period using modern not archaic tools used by Cutmen to date.

The Cutman Course is brought to you by Joseph Clifford Cutman whom has worked with AIBA in Doha World Boxing Championships 2015 and the WSB in 2014.

The course has trained over 200 participants and 4 national amateur boxing teams to date. It’s resounding success based on the courses ability to deliver safe effective evidence based treatments.‪#‎AIBA‬‪#‎Boxing‬‪#‎AmateurBoxing‬‪#‎IABA‬

Ballyhaunis BC middleweight Sean Conroy booked his ticket into the last-16 of the AIBA World Junior Championships in Kiev, Ukriane with a convincing win over Romania’s Marian Iou today.

But Martin Collins bowed out of the tournament after dropping a split decision to Turkish bantamweight Ahmet Micik at the Palace of Sports venue in the Ukrainian capital.

Conroy, operating from behind a high guard, held his composure in the face of an aggressive start from Iou to pick off some slick counters, two lefts rocking his opponent backwards in the opening frame.

The Irish champion set up Iou with a body shot in the second, and when the Romanian dropped his guard, Conroy drove home a big right to the head to force a standing count.

Iou took another standing count off a right near the end of the round as Conroy continued to dominate en route to a unanimous decision and a last-16 clash with Germany’s Jonathan Fischbuch.

Collins was involved in a tight three-rounder with Micik. Both boxers had their moments in this encounter, but the judges leaned in favour of the Turk after the final bell.

“It was a 50/50 fight and it could have gone either way, said Irish coach Billy McClean. “It was a solid performance from Martin. Sean was superb. He boxed extremely well and we’re very pleased with the win.”

James Cleary, Lewis Crocker and Kevin Kehoe will be in action tomorrow.

Boxing at the tournament, which is expected to attract over 50 nations, begins at the Palace of Sports in Kiev on Saturday.

Bouts to be contested over three, two minute rounds.

The squad have been in training camp at the National Stadium in Dublin for the last number of weeks and Irish coach Billy McClean was in an upbeat mood about Ireland’s prospects.

“Our training and sparring has gone well and the squad are eagerly looking forward to getting the tournament underway in Kiev. It will be a tough test, but the squad have prepared well and are eager to get in the ring now,” he said.

Joe Ward, the 2011 European Elite champion, is the last Irish boxer to medal at this level, the Moate BC southpaw stopping Armenia’s Hayk Khachatryan in round three in 2009 to secure 70kg gold in Yerevan, Armenia.

John Stokes and Martin Conroy reached the bantamweight and middleweight quarter-finals at the 2011 AIBA World Junior Championships in Almaty, Kazakhstan. The Irish pair were edged out by Germany’s Dimitar Tilev and Russia’s Artem Melkonyan, who were both beaten in their semi-finals.

“We had two in the quarter-finals last time out and came very close. Our squad will be giving it absolutely everything to finish amongst the medals in Kiev, as our boys did in Almaty two years ago. As always, we’ll be looking for a bit of the rub of the green in the draw”, added McClean.
